Imperative में emperor (सम्राट) का आदेश सुनिए: सम्राट का आदेश टाला नहीं जा सकता, इसलिए imperative यानी अनिवार्य। Grammar में भी imperative sentence आदेश देता है: 'Sit down.'

Hear EMPEROR in IMPERATIVE: an emperor's order cannot be ignored, so what is imperative is absolutely necessary. In grammar too, an imperative sentence gives an order: 'Sit down.'
